@Emil Thank you!!!

MQTT Client additional

mocallins — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 19:59:19 GMT

Anybody got any nice example of responding and publishing for a specific button ?

I'd like to be able to use the names i've given them in the Flic app.

I got the github example, but I have no idea how to parse the button id.

Spotify Volume and playback control with Flic Twist

benci007 — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 08:05:23 GMT

@Emil Any updates on this being added in natively? Really reduces the usability of the twist without it - and I'd much rather have slight lag than nothing at all.

As a non-programmer, I'd love to attempt Andreas' solution - but it's just slightly above my technical capability!

Crash with MQTT

pico — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 17:54:14 GMT

I just noticed this post https://community.flic.io/topic/18577/mqtt-issue-on-firmware-version-4-4-5 and updated Flic Hub to version 4.4.6 which appears to have solved the crash.

Can FlicScript Add Support for Local Timezones (with DST)

Emil — Mon, 05 May 2025 02:24:03 GMT

@pico We currently use QuickJS and it seems like that js engine does not support that Intl feature.

We might add the feature to set time zone, it can be useful for a few other purposes as well, e.g. in timestamp header for our Internet Request action. But right now I suggest to use the workaround I suggested.

@Emil Ok, thanks!! I'll do some research 🙂

New Flic Twist features for the Hub SDK

nathan.scofield — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 12:06:16 GMT

@Emil when I am on this screen

e477bf23-7e8a-4be4-99ef-573de5cfffef-image.png

When I tap on the virtual devices on iOS, nothing happens, there are no options, I can't delete them. I can add more however.

I have tried tap and hold, I have swiped in all directions, quick taps. Not sure how to remove any of these and they seem to persist even after deleting the app and reinstalling. I'm sure they're stored on the hub itself. Would resetting the hub clear them? is there a way through the app to remove Virtual Devices I've previously added?

Matter writeAttribute Crashing

Emil — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 05:42:10 GMT

@pico The hub checks for updates automatically every 24 hours. Unfortunately there is no history on the device of updates. If there are new features for an update, we typically show those in the changelog of the Android/iOS app.

Flic Hub LR as MQTT Broker?

Emil — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 06:28:02 GMT

@pico right now that particular code only acts as a client.

Cross-Module Persistent Data Storage

pico — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 21:16:19 GMT

@Emil It would be awesome if you all could add a Global Datastore in the future! If you need any help testing, I would be happy to play with a beta version!

The Govee lights I'm working with are an older model H7013 which are warm white dimmable string lights that support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but that means the integrations are pretty limited to IFTTT which can be slow, and I can't detect the current state. The LAN API is much faster and I can check the current state, which is great.

I've looked into upgrading to newer Matter versions from Govee or anyone else but they are all more expensive than is worth it for me when what I have it working, and many newer models have more features/complexity than I really want (don't want RGB or anything, just want 2700K warm white and dimmable).

Sleeping in FlicScript

@Emil Thank you! This is exactly the confirmation I needed to get started with my project! It's so cool to be able to script Matter devices!

FlicScript Matter Examples

pico — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 17:10:50 GMT

PS. For anybody finding this in the future, I also tried setting the StartUpCurrentLevel attribute and that behaves the same as calling MoveToLevel with OptionsOverride set to 1 when the light is off, Matter honors it when turned back on, but Tapo does not.

Flic Duo SDK Support

Emil — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 15:07:05 GMT

@sgemmen The hub firmware with Hub SDK support for Flic Duo is pushed out now (version 4.6.0). The documentation is not yet out but you can see an example event here that includes button number, orientation and gesture:

buttonUp {"bdaddr":"90:88:a9:5b:10:62","wasQueued":false,"buttonNumber":1,"orientation":{"x":-1.530368,"y":0.109312,"z":1.952},"gesture":"right","age":0}

a custom iOS app with a Flic Hub LR or Flic Hub Mini

leeshin1130 — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 01:40:53 GMT

I would like to know if it is possible to connect a custom iOS app with a Flic Hub LR or Flic Hub Mini, similar to the official Flic app, and pair buttons with the connected Hub. If this is possible, are there any example codes available?

As of November 13, 2024, has the HubSDK for Flic Twist been released?

jermainemadam — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:10:50 GMT

Maybe we need to create a kickstarter that pays for an extra “dedicated” staff member whose sole purpose is to solve this. I would pay money for that, if it meant i finally get to turn a massive button into something more. i am in no way a programmer, but i’m assuming that when a product is developed, wouldn’t its known features be made available in the sdk? especially when the “twist” feature is available for
philips hue to utilise and some other companies. So clearly there is a way to access the “twist” feature.

I understand that matter would change the focus of the company, maybe even cause a complete redesign of the ecosystem. The main reason i supported the twist was because how rock solid the flic’s are. I don’t think i have come across another smart home product that just works like the flics do.

There is so much potential in opening up a product fully to the community that supports it financially. By doing so will literally make you more money. I know if i had the ability to use the twist, even at a basic level,
(like to know if its turned left or right) i would be happy as.. i dont want the world, i just want to finally use the twist to its full potential.

At the moment the twist is an expensive over sized car with no steering wheel that you can’t drive. Oh, wait, i can turn the headlights on and off, but go nowhere…. money well spent.

i am sorry for sounding a tad passive aggressive to flic staff, but i’m just frustrated. There is clearly something more going on in the background that’s not being said.

@michael-4 Probably the response is too big to fit in the RAM memory given to your application. Do you know how big the response is?

Disable SSL Cert Validation

@mark-gitsham Currently that's not supported unfortunately. We have plans to add that option though.

Allow insecure TLS with the HTTP Module

okko — Fri, 16 Feb 2024 07:20:25 GMT

@Emil It might be kind of insecure, but with some devices the only API supported. I would like to make requests to a WiiM device. Their API only supports HTTPS with a self-signed certificate. https://www.wiimhome.com/pdf/HTTP API for WiiM Mini.pdf

The Flic Hub configured with the Flic App UI is unable to make requests too, even when I turn off the validation. Is there some way to debug the hub's requests? Requests with curl work ok:

@flic-16 Can you try this base64 encode method instead:

Hub Mini without SDK - how to connect to Home Assistant?

flic r — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 17:53:46 GMT

@abboberg Thx, and I do know that and used it in the past. I guess I forgot about this one. So much for remembering things. Of course, this means I need to configure each and every butten separately by hand instead of using the SDK for the whole hub.

Thx anyway!

Update SDK to use the FlicTwist ?
